While main
superficial causes of congested nose include bacterial and viral
infections, low body-oxygen content, on a cell level, is always the key factor.
When nasal congestion is caused by infections, the person will notice that his
or her mucus is yellow or green. This indicates the presence of dead bacteria or
viruses in mucosal discharges.

A stuffy nose can also be caused by allergies or allergic reactions to some airborne substances (e.g., as in
the case of hay fever). However, even in this case, the hypersensitive state of the
immune system is caused by
chronic overbreathing. As you can see in the right diagram, the cause is the
same, but the mucus is going to be clear.

Another possible cause of a large production of clear mucus is dairy products.
Such allergic reactions occur due to either casein (the main protein in milk) or
lactose (milk sugar).

If your congested nose is caused by allergic reactions, you need to avoid them. For
example, you can test your reaction to dairy products by eliminating all
dairy products from your diet for 3 days.

If you are allergic to tree pollen or cat or dog proteins, these airborne
triggers are to be avoided. Once you achieve more than 30 seconds for the body-oxygen test, most of these substances (dust, dust mites, tree pollen, cat
proteins, dog proteins, and so forth) will not produce an auto-immune response
due to normalization of the immune system.

Natural remedies for congested nose due to infections

Most people with a stuffy nose can get a relief
in 1 minute if they slow down their heavy breathing and
increase body oxygenation using a simple breathing exercise. This
very easy respiratory exercise to clear a stuffy nose was invented and used by
more than 170 Soviet and Russian MDs. They taught this most natural remedy to
1,000's of their patients with asthma, chronic mouth breathing, sinusitis, rhinitis,
hay fever, and many other conditions. This natural treatment and remedy also work for pregnant
women and children. The exercise can be applied during sleep (at night) as well:

to get rid of a congested nose" in about 1 minute.

If you slow down your basal
breathing patterns (get closer to the medical
norm for breathing at rest) and achieve more than a certain number (in seconds) for the body-oxygen test, your
frequent upper respiratory infections will also disappear. Hay fever eradication
usually requires a little higher numbers (by about 10 seconds)
for the body-oxygen test and avoidance of all triggers for gradual
desensitization of the immune system for about 2-3 months. You can find out these exact numbers (to cure nasal congestion and defeat hay fever) right below here as your bonus content.
